As my ideas have started to progress more I have started to think about different ways I could show how PTSD controls the body in a visual format.I asked a peer to tie voile which I had attached to the headpiece around my body.Looking at the photographic documentation I feel that it looks too sexualised especially where it is tied around the breasts.I feel that it should of just been tied on my arms and legs.Being the model myself it was hard to have the perspective not being able to see it from an outsiders point of view and only being able to give directions.

I started to play about with the movement of bricks with the weight of the bricks within my hands in these shots which I feel worked sucessfully in portraying my message of the heavy weight that PTSD bares especially when avoidance comes into play.

I decided to create some video’s showing the bricks appearing one by one weighing down that person physically and mentally.

I then decided to look at different ways the headpiece could be displayed as a sculpture and coincide with the video’s made which would project in the background.

I decided to choose the first option as I felt that it visually worked the best and turned the headpiece almost into some kind of creature within itself greedy to hold onto the bricks.
